Answer 1

.If the perimeter of a rectangular house is 44 yards

and the length is 36 feet. What is the width of the house?

We can either change yards to feet, or feet to yards...<<

1. Changing yards to feet.

Perimeter = 44 yards = 44(3 feet) = 132 feet

Perimeter = 2(Length + Width)

P = 2(L + W)

132 = 2(36 + W)

132 = 72 + 2W

132 - 72 = 2W

60 = 2W

30 = W

So the width is 30 feet.

Answer 2

Changing feet to yards.

Length = 36 feet = 36(1/3 yard) = 12 yards

Perimeter = 2(Length + Width)

P = 2(L + W)

44 = 2(12 + W)

44 = 24 + 2W

44 - 24 = 2W

20 = 2W

10 = W

So the width is 10 yards.
